I have the pleasure of offering one of the most complete Timely/Atlas collections to enter the market. Dr. Tom Lammers has amassed nearly every comic produced by Martin Goodman since 1950 and many more prior to that. This is a process that will take several years to finish with new auctions coming out each week. I will be offering several different title each week trying not to inundate the market with twenty issues of the same title at one time. The initial offerings will be mostly Golden Age superhero and horror books, but I am going to include some other types as well. Eventually there will be every genre offered from funny animal to westerns to romance. Atlas produced some of the finest comics during this era and I expect to see quite a bit of competition for some of these books. I will also be designating the Lammers books with TGL in the title since I will continue to sell my inventory on ebay as well. I hope you enjoy seeing these books as much as I have.

This auction is for Secret Story Romances  No. 13 from Timely comics, Inc. (Timely/Atlas/ Marvel) from June 1955,  This features cover and interior art by Vincent Colletta.  This also features interior art by Jay Scott Pike, and Russ Heath.  (All info per the GCD.) 

This issue grades at Very Good plus.  Very slight spine stress with just a few stress marks and dings.  Top front corner has slight crease.  Some indentions on top front cover.  Other defects associated with grade.  The cover has great color and gloss.  Cover and centerfold firmly attached.  Pages are cream to off-white and supple.  This would make a nice copy for your collection.  Take a look at large scans for your determination of grade.    

Books like these rarely come on ebay.  Romance books in general have been experiencing a steady climb over the last few years with the guide not being able to keep up with true pricing.  Overstreet lists $24.00 in Very Good and $36.00 in Fine.  Overstreet has not been keeping up with the value of these books.  My starting price should reflect current value for this book.

I have been selling on ebay for over twenty years and have always maintained 100% feedback. I will ship either first class or media whichever is cheaper. Other shipping can be arranged but buyer will have to pay the difference. Foreign orders are OK with sufficient positive feedback. Postage for foreign orders will be higher and may not be reflected in the automatic billing by ebay, so please do not pay until you receive invoice created by me. Returns are accepted only if there was a defect not listed in the description. No returns accepted because of buyer's remorse so please bid accordingly. I will combine shipping but there will be a minimum fifty cents per additional auction up to a total of ten auctions. All books will be packaged safely and securely. Packages will be shipped within twenty-four hours after receiving payment. Check out my other auctions for other great books.
